aka RICHIE'S LOOPS....

Group rides/warms up together to old Grumman facility. Paceline 4 or 5 laps around site. Faster riders go ahead and lap us later. Slower riders don't need to pull or can ride slower we will come around  again and get you on the next lap. Stop and skip a lap if you want. Easy way to try a faster pace or those paceline skills Ron taught you without committing to a full ride. We will regroup and ride/cool down together back to Manorville. Bring  enough water and snacks since there is nowhere to get them on the ride.

We're off to Manorville with a rest/snack stop at Mickey D's and/or the nearby  bagel store.  Leader will maintain a 13-14 mph level ground cruising speed.  No one will be dropped.

How about going to Yaphank today? The average pace for the ride will be between 14.8 and 15.0 mph +/- depending on the roads, wind direction, and other conditions which could put the ride in the lower part of a "B". The road speed will be between 15 and 17 mph.  There are a few places along the route where a paceline or leg stretches can be done for those who wish. Around mile 19 there will be a bathroom/deli stop.

Please check the ride calendar for any weather, or last minute cancellations which will be posted no later than 7:30AMif necessary. My cell number is 631.484.3490; call anytime if you have questions about this ride.

A ride by the watersides of St. James, Stony Brook and Old Field. Plenty of waterviews. We stay on back roads, most with little traffic. There is quite a lot of up and down on this ride. The hills after Harbor Road are mostly easy going up. We will stop at West Meadow Beach at mile 11 for a quick rest stop. No one left behind and wait-ups where there are hills. Bring a snack for the rest stop.  Ride average will come in on the low end of B- 

Leisurely ride on Belmont Lake State Park trail to the Town of Babylon Docks.  We may explore some side streets once we get into town, which may add a mile or two to the mileage posted.  Stop at the ice shop for a break.
